Martin i Soler
"Seats a good option"
Reviewed 11 April 2012 by Ettore
Although we booked a night sailing we slept on reclining seats to save a little bit of money. Not the best of comfort but for one night it’s ok and our seats were the ones in the Neptune lounge which also have a folding footrest. The dining options left a bit to be desired with but we had brought some sandwiches from home and on board we only had a coffee in the morning. I liked it very much to wander around and explore the ship, and the time went by quickly. In general I can say it was a good trip
